Lucid dreaming

Anning Hospital is located close to the urban-rural fringe, across the river from the viewing platform. It has a beautiful environment, a wide view, green grass, and sparkling lake water. It is almost a luxury to treat mental diseases.Wang Jiayi stood in front of the lawn full of yellow flowers and looked at the lake for a while, then walked into the inpatient department and went to the front desk to inquire about Du Hang.

The group secretary did tell him a ward number, but she also admitted that this was information many years ago, and she wondered if Du Hang still lived there.But it's always good to ask more.

As soon as the male doctor at the front desk spoke, he recognized the voice on the phone.The male doctor seemed to find him very funny, as did the colleagues around him, who were writing medical records in their hands and looking at him from the corner of their eyes.Wang Jiayi tried to tell himself that they thought the idea of ​​the classmate reunion was funny, not that it was funny for him, a big man, to ask about Du Hang.These people don't understand anything.

He checked the hospital records and told Wang Jiayi that the patient was in 307 on the third floor.

Du Hang used to live on the third floor.

Wang Jiayi asked about the location of 307, and went up the stairs to the third floor.

Along the way, I passed by several patients who were supported by their relatives.To say that these patients are mentally ill is not too much. They don't look like lunatics, but they are very confused, as if they don't know why they are here, and they just want to go back to where they belong.It also seems that they just woke up from a long dream, and their hearts are still in the dream, only their bodies are clumsy walking in the world.

They also stared at Wang Jiayi, their gazes were different from those of the little leader, the Koreans, and the male front desk, they were purely dull.The eyes are black and bulging, and there is no breath of soul.

Wang Jiayi looked at them for a few times, felt nervous, lowered his head and walked upstairs quickly.The more you go up, the quieter it becomes, so quiet that you can hear the echo of the soles of leather shoes hitting the concrete stairs.

A plainly dressed man stood at the door of 307. Seeing Wang Jiayi approaching, he raised his eyes.This person seemed to be around his age, with deep and shallow scars around his eyes, probably from a mixed society before.Wang Jiayi stretched out his hand to him, the man looked down, shook him briefly and firmly, then let go immediately, and stared at him unkindly.

Wang Jiayi took the lead and said, "Is it Du Hang's relatives or friends?"

"Dude," the man said, "who are you?"

Wang Jiayi said: "I am Du Hang's high school classmate."

He announced the name of the party secretary again, and the man moved the corners of his mouth with a half-smile and said, "That's a woman. Are you her husband?"

Wang Jiayi rolled his eyes, said "um", and apologized to the Communist Youth League Secretary in his heart, but just replied a WeChat message, and accidentally got a little milk dog husband.The man changed his posture, leaned one shoulder against the wall, and said, "Why are you looking for Du Hang?"

This time, it is no longer possible to talk about class reunions. This person obviously knows about Du Hang High School.Wang Jiayi quickly figured out a lie, probably because of this person's aura of society, he didn't want to tell the truth at all.Wang Jiayi turned and leaned against the wall, pretending to ask casually: "My daughter-in-law's recent performance inspection is to investigate the situation of special groups in her jurisdiction. No, I asked for leave and came here. Are you his buddy? Do you know Du Hang's attending doctor?" How is he doing recently?"

The buddy narrowed his eyes, and the scars around his eyes stretched and deformed, and said, "Stop lying, what the hell are you here for?"

Can this be worn?

Seeing Wang Jiayi's stunned expression, the buddy sneered "heh", took a puff of a cigarette smoothly, and said, "If you are that woman's husband, you will know that Brother Du didn't go in because of illness. Du Brother is basking in the sun outside, what’s going on, let’s talk.”

... Knowing where Du Hang is, why does he still tell the truth to this person.Wang Jiayi glanced into the room through the small door glass behind him, and there was indeed no one in the small ward.He smiled at the buddy, turned around and walked out, the buddy yelled behind him: "Stop!"

Wang Jiayi stopped and looked back at him.This kind of scoundrel can do anything.He was really afraid that this buddy would punch him in the back.

The buddy put out his cigarette butt on the white wall of the hospital, but instead of throwing it away, he put the half-smoked cigarette back into his pocket, walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder, and asked, "What are you doing, Want to leave without saying a word?"

Wang Jiayi took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, shook out one and handed it to him. The buddy glanced at the cigarette case, his eyes lit up, and he took out the cigarette and held it in his hand.Seeing that he hadn't lit it, Wang Jiayi shoved the whole pack of cigarettes into his pocket and said, "This is from our company. Every male employee has it. My wife won't let me smoke it. I can't help it. Look at you, brother." Sweeping, I borrowed flowers to present Buddha to you. Don't be disgusted."

The buddy tucked the cigarette behind his ears, chuckled, and said, "What's so disgusting, I usually smoke this too."

Wang Jiayi thought to himself that I just saw that you were holding something other than this.But such trivial things are not worth mentioning.He backed away without a trace, his back touched the cold wall, and said, "I really don't know much about the past, brother, can you tell me how Brother Du got in?"

The buddy's expression turned ugly, and he choked out a sentence after a while: "This is Du Ge's private matter, I can't talk nonsense."

"That's fine, I'll ask Brother Du himself. Thank you, Brother."

Wang Jiayi waved at him.This time the buddy didn't react and watched him slip down the stairs.As soon as Wang Jiayi reached the second floor, he immediately ran inside, looking for a safe passage on the other side. Sure enough, the buddy chased after him, shouting, "That kid, what's your name!"

The nurse's voice came from afar: "No loud noises are allowed in the hospital!"

What happened after that, Wang Jiayi never heard again.He left the inpatient department through the safety exit of the corridor on the other side, and walked towards the lake along the cobblestone path in front of the door.At first he was worried that the unobstructed view of the grass would give him away. After walking for a while, the cobblestone path turned up steeply, winding towards the hill.Wang Jiayi was overjoyed, ran a few steps, and crossed the hill.

Below the hillside is the lake seen at the entrance of the hospital.The grass in early autumn is rich in color, and the lake is clear, reflecting countless broken waves.Patients walking in twos and threes along the cobblestone path turned to stare at Wang Jiayi as he passed by.

There were a few big willow trees by the lake, and the thin willows were swaying in the wind. Wang Jiayi walked along the lake and saw a lonely person in a wheelchair under the tree on the other side of the lake.

It turns out that the wheelchair can push that far.

There are too many patients, and I don't know who Du Hang is.Wang Jiayi walked slowly, looking around, trying to find a nurse or doctor, and ask him for the patient number information.He didn't find a doctor, but his eyes met a patient.Compared with other patients who were completely dull, that person's eyes were a little more agile, with a breath of soul.

Wang Jiayi looked at him for a moment, and asked uncertainly, "...Du Hang?"

There was more light in the patient's eyes, and the eyeballs moved as if thawed from the ice, first slowly looking at his face, and then speeding up, looking at his clothes.

"Who are you."

"My name is Wang Jiayi." Wang Jiayi said, "Can we find a place to chat?"

Du Hang didn't come over immediately, but stood where he was, and asked, "Yes, it's Li Zhaomin, did you ask you to come to me?"

"No." Wang Jiayi said, "But I just met your former buddy, he said you were not the one who came in, can you tell me what happened?"

He didn't want to say the word "mental illness" in front of Du Hang, and moved his finger around his temple ambiguously. Du Hang glanced at his gesture and said, "Because I, I offended that woman." , she, she sent me in."

Wang Jiayi's eyes widened: "Can you send someone to a mental hospital?"

Du Hang's expression showed that he was racking his brains on how to express it.

"One time, I didn't really understand something and beat someone. Then that person was very, very powerful. I didn't know what to do, so I asked her. She taught me how to issue a mental illness certificate. , Then I’ll be fine. But when I went back to the mental hospital, they found me and said I was mentally ill. I can’t go out and hurt people.”

Wang Jiayi swallowed uncontrollably, relieving the sudden constriction in his throat: "Who was that person you hit?"

"My surname is Huang." Du Hang said, "I forgot my name. I didn't pay attention when I beat him."

It turned out he wasn't hitting Kosi.Wang Jiayi was disappointed for a while, and then secretly scolded himself for being stupid.What happened to Ke Xi was ten years ago, and Du Hang was sent here four years ago, so how could he get involved with Ke Xi.If you really care about it, you will be chaotic, and even common sense will be lost.

"Li Zhaomin didn't say anything about me. When will I be able to go out?" Du Hang asked hopefully, "It's boring to be old in this place. I used to have friends who came to see me, and I always need someone to accompany me. It's always bloody." Routine, urine routine, taking medicine. Li Zhaomin clearly said, in a few years, he will release me."

"This one……"

Wang Jiayi didn't know what to say, Li Zhaomin didn't tell him about her throwing someone into a mental hospital.He suddenly remembered that there was this Hospice Hospital on the page of "Silent Scream".

It should be said that her charity hospital only includes two hospitals in this province, and Anning Hospital is one of them.The hospital took Li Zhaomin's money, so I'm afraid it won't be so easy to let go of the people she arrested.

He and Du Hang walked silently along the marble path, the early autumn wind made the clothes flutter, Wang Jiayi decided not to go around in circles, and went straight to the point: "What, do you remember your cousin?"

Hearing the word "cousin", Du Hang's expression and eyes froze, but it is also possible that there is something wrong with his blood routine.

"What is a cousin?"

"Cousin, it's your child..."

Du Hang was even more at a loss: "I don't have an aunt, what kind of relatives are aunts?"

If Du Hang is Ke Xi's cousin, then Du Hang's mother should be Ke Xi's aunt.But Du Hang might not be Ke Xi's cousin, but his cousin.Wang Jiayi was not good at calculating relatives, so he stared at the sky for a while, trying not to figure out which relative of Du Hang's family Ke Xi should be the child of, so he simply said: "Forget it, it's not my cousin, it's Ke Xi. Do you remember him?"

"Ke, Kexi?"

"Yes. It's Ke Xi." Wang Jiayi said, "Do you remember him?"

Du Hang chuckled: "Ke, Ke Xi, of course I remember. What's the matter?"

Finally met a sensible person, Wang Jiayi said: "I want to ask you what happened to Ke Xi before. Well, Li Zhaowei, you know, Ke Xi's ex-boyfriend, he came back from the United States now, and wants to visit Ke Xi's grave , but I don’t know where Koshi is buried. You are his form, do you know? Koshi, the cemetery?”

Du Hang's eyes gradually became dull, as if his brain could no longer understand what he said, and quietly froze, only his mouth was still repeating like a parrot: "Li Zhaowei?"

"Yes, Li Zhaowei. You should be high school classmates, right?"

"No, not a high school classmate." Du Hang said, "He was transferred from..."

"It's the same everywhere." Wang Jiayi said.

"It's different." Du Hang said, "It turns out that only those who entered a high school can be high school classmates. Li Zhaowei, he was transferred later. He, he is not our high school classmate."

Wang Jiayi was a little impatient: "That's not it. Where's Ke Xi?"

"Koxi? What's wrong with Kexi?"

Wang Jiayi took a deep breath and said, "Where is Ke Xi buried?"

Du Hang parroted and asked, "Where is Ke Xi buried?"

Is there any ambiguity in this sentence?

"Yes." Wang Jiayi said in a persuasive tone as much as possible, "Ke Xi, your cousin. No, not to mention cousin, it was Ke Xi. Ten years ago, the cemetery..."

"What's a cemetery?"

"It's...a public cemetery. Do you know that when people die, they put their ashes in the cemetery..."

Du Hang asked hesitantly: "When a person dies, isn't it an urn?"

Wang Jiayi hesitated, and replied: "The urn is also right, the urn. And this urn, if the relatives take it away, it will be taken home; if no one takes it away, it will be placed in the public cemetery. You do you understand?"

Du Hang nodded, admiringly: "Oh, after talking for a long time, it turns out that's the case."

Wang Jiayi almost fell to his knees, his legs started to hurt after walking for so long, so he simply stopped and stared at the sky.Du Hang followed him and stopped, looking at him and at the sky.

Wang Jiayi suppressed the urge to grab Du Hang's collar and shake it, and said slowly, "I mean, do you know where Ke Xi's urn is?"

"There is no urn." Du Hang said.

Wang Jiayi compared a palm-sized square: "There is no urn? How could it be possible? An urn is a box in which ashes are placed. It is so big, it may be bigger than this. Do you know about urns?"

"There is no urn." Du Hang repeated.

The expression on that face was extremely stupid, Wang Jiayi clenched his fists against his side, worried that he would raise his hand and punch him. "What do you mean? Did you not understand?"

"There is no urn." Du Hang said blankly, "Aren't the urns placed in the cemetery?"

Wang Jiayi finally grabbed Du Hang's collar and let go immediately. "I forgot the urn." He said in a low voice, "Koxi, where did you go?"

"Last? What last?"

Can a mental hospital have such a serious effect on a person's ability to understand?

"The last time you saw Ke Xi was the last. Let me put it this way, where is Ko Xi now?"

Du Hang stretched out his hand straight behind him, his fingers almost poked Wang Jiayi's chest. "You would have asked me if I hadn't." He said happily, "Ko Xi is there."
